“Joe Burke helps advance the national discussion on higher
education accountability by exploring its meaning, purpose, and
potential. This volume is a must-read for business, civic,
government, and education leaders who want to move higher education
to the next level through consistent and effective performance
measurement.”
--Charles B. Reed, chancellor, California State University, Long
Beach
“At last. We now have the definitive exploration of
accountability. Joe Burke brings very smart colleagues together to
dissect this complex subject and offers his own sensible solutions
to one of the most challenging conundrums facing higher
education.”
--Tom Ingram, president, Association of Governing Boards of
Universities and Colleges
“This astute book illuminates the inherent tension between
accountability and autonomy. As Burke points out, the tension is
healthy, but the union is essential. Educators and policymakers
should use this book’s insights to achieve the goals that
both share.”
--Paul E. Lingenfelter, executive director, State Higher Education
Executive Officers
“The issue of higher education’s accountability has
never been more important. This book will be a valuable resource as
we attempt to develop accountability systems to meet the challenges
of today and, more importantly, those of tomorrow. It could not
have come at a better time.”
--Thomas D. Layzell, president, Kentucky Council on Postsecondary
Education
